I've got a usercontrol that uses quite a few other usercontrols putting it together. I only want the "complete" usercontrol to be visible in the toolbar and not the pieces that make it up. How do I hide the parts I want to hide and still be able to use them to build my control? I make the final control by dragging the other items from the toolbar. After I am finished all of my controls are visible in the toolbar and I don't want that. Help?!
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Express - C#

I think you can give those controls you want to hide an attribute
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]

I designed a user control to be a container for a layout. The control itself uses three other usercontrols for tabs and title and such. My control shows up in the toolbar and I can drag it to the form in the designer and set all of it's options but this usercontrol was designed to hold one or more usercontrols of any kind. I can add any item programmatically but if I drag a control over it in the designer it will not add the control I'm dragging to my usercontrol after I drop it on it. Any ideas how this functionality can be added for the designer?

I had that problem myself and I'm not sure what best to do. Maybe there is a trick we both don't know.
If you don't have a user control, but a control derived from Panel, you can drop controls onto it at design time and they will be added. Also I think if you have a Panel on your user control, you can drop controls onto the Panel. So maybe you can just fill your user control with a Panel and go from there.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently involved in developping a WinForm application. I use VB.NET as a language and use the 2.0 .NET framework
One of my forms only contains a WebBrowser component. That form is launched by another form which passes him an URL for the WebBrowser to naviguate towards.
The webpage aimed by the URL has an applet (or so I think it is) allowing to see a digitalised document (such as a hand written letter or a printed form).
When the form is closed, the exectution of the instruction line :
Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
...
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
...
End Sub
lasts for several minutes. Within that period of time, the entire software is frozen and will only be available to the user when the instruction is passed.
I asked to my peers how to hanlde that behavior and they adviced me to come up with a solution based on asynchronous execution (I am no expert in that domain of IT programming).
So my question is: assuming that it is the correct way, which part of my code am I supposed to wrap with a thread ? Is it the form containing the WebBrowser with the heavy finalysing ? Or maybe just the finalisation itself (I must say that I already tried that and it changed nothing)
Thanks in advance for you help and accept my apologizes for my writting but english isn't my native language.

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to make a File Dialog (Open/Save as) become the child window of a parent form and be fully "contained and bounded" in it. I can`t find any straight-forward way to do this, like Controls.Add or anything since they inherit from Component class.
I also tried calling the Win32 SetParent function but it has no effect.
Any suggestions please ?
Thanks in advance.

hi
yes is possible but: are you expert in API calls, i. e. WndProc, Farprocs, Hookprocs, HookFunctions ans so on. if not, is better you call the standard file dialog in the .net framework.
regards

Hi Joe,
Yes i`m familiar with Win32 API .Can u tell me how using HookProcs and WndProcs will help ?
|
|
|
|
|
hooks are not easy to use. look in the msdn help, set the filter to platform SDK an search for OPENFILENAME.
good luck

mix.Recording.Lines.GetMixerFirstLineByComponentType(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE.SRC_MICROPHONE).Mute = true;
}
else
{
if (mix.Recording.Lines.GetMixerFirstLineByComponentType(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE.SRC_MICROPHONE).Mute)
{
mix.Recording.Lines.GetMixerFirstLineByComponentType(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE.SRC_MICROPHONE).Mute = false;

Hello all,
Is there a progress bar for .NET that has an unsigned 64-bit maximum value? The number of items I'm processing can easily exceed 32-bits, but the Windows Forms progress bar only accepts a standard int.
Thanks,
Dybs
|
|
|
|
|
Why don't you set the maximum to 100 and set the integer percentage value when it has changed? Setting the value a billion times will slow down your application anyway, and users won't see a difference.
|
|
|
|
|
Good point. We had created a form that has a progress window and a display of the number of items being processed, and we had just been using the ProgressBar.Maximum property for that value. But yes, your suggestion would be a better design choice.
Thanks,
Dybs

Does anyone know a good way to make a control draw and work outside the bounds of a form in vb.net? I am trying to make a control that works like a combobox in that it drops down, but I need the part that drops down to be a datagridview. If the datagridview dropdown is taller than the form has room for, I need it to go past the edge of the form, just like a combobox dropdown.
|

|

You can put the datagridview to a separate form without borders and position the form under the "combobox". When form looses focus, you close the form so the "combo" closes.
Hope this helps,
Mika

Thats the only thing I could think to do as well. It seems there has got to be a different, cleaner way to do it, because combobox/menu dropdowns can do it. I guess for all I know thats how combobox and menu dropdowns work too.
Anyway, this is probably what I'll end up doing. Thank you for your help.

You're welcome.
It's not neccessarily a bad way at all. I don't know today's implementation for example in Vista which is based on WPF but if I remember correctly, originally in Windows combobox was constructed using:
- textbox (editable or noneditable)
- button on the right side of the text box
- listbox placed in a separate window

Hi All,
I have done a windows application which is running very fine. and I made a windows service which is also running fine.
Now my windows service is on system A.
Now my windows application is on system B.
From system A through windows service I have to invoke the windows application on system B which the form consisoting in it.
Right Now Iam able to invoke the process(windows application)which is on system B from windows service which is on on system A.
But the form/pop-up is not opening in system B. but Iam able to see the windows app process in Task manager of system B.
Now how to show form/pop-up of winodws app in system B where it is invoked by system A.
Thanks
Kinldy help me...

You can't do this. Starting an interactive process remotely is not allowed by Security, and for VERY good reasons.

It's amazing how some people just don't think of the security ramifications when asking these kind of questions.

Dave comment is important, but you may want to play with the interact with Desktop option of your service.

- not sure if it will work in a remote scenario, but it is worth trying it out.

It still won't launch an app on a remote machine so the user can see it.
